NCAA Basketball Pool 2012

Alright, it's that time again--NCAA basketball pool time.

So, to join in the fun, I have once again created a private group at ESPN.com-->Fantasy Games-->Tournament Challenge for our little clique.

After you've created an entry*, search for the group

Lawtalkers

It's a private group. You need the following password to join:

YSBDetails

One entry each (i.e., per primary sock).**

The brackets are posted on the Sunday before the tournament. I think the entries are locked on Thursday morning before the first (real***) game. You can get the details at the ESPN site.


* Note that to maintain anonymity you should use/create an account that does not bear your real name. If you care, of course. The name on your account will appear in the standings (as does your "entry" name).

** That's one entry per "real" person, not one for each of your many socks.

*** It appears that ESPN rejects the play-in games as unnatural abominations and has excluded those from its bracket challenge.

Let's take a moment to congratulate again our past winners:

Re: NCAA Basketball Pool 2012

BTW, that weird akg414 pick is Mr. Man. Ready for some madness!!

ETA: Didn't I win last year? There should be a record of who has won each year, like we have in the Death Pool...

I'll seen if I can compile it from last threads. I think I posted the winner each year.

But I bet Thurgreed is out celebrating, no matter what the Duke upset might have done to his bracket.

Slave went to Lehigh, and is in Vegas. I bet he has out-celebrated Thurgreed. In fact, he might be dead.

still, I'm impressed by B&B. she and I both suffer from "home-team syndrome" which ultimately killed her, but beyond that weakness, she knew her shit. Me? I got nothing.

Yup, I thought BnB's picks were the most impressive overall. Sorry to the winners, but anybody can pick Kentucky, and most did.

At least I can say I have "next to nothing" instead of nothing at all.
